STORAGE-ROOM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1911.

Application filed April 18, 1911. Serial No. 621,955.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATTHEW M. LOORAM, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storage- Rooms, ofwhich the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to storage room either portable or stationary.

The object of the invention is to provide a structure of this character,having an exterior wall of non-porous or glazed material, and havingsituated within the inner face a recess which is filled with a lining ofporous or moisture absorbent material, there being an opening formedthrough the outer wall at one or more points, through which a limitedarea of the inner moisture absorb-- ent material extends and is exposedto the outer atmosphere.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in thedetailed description which now follows.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view, partly in section andpartly side elevation, of a portable storage room or car constructed inaccordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a partial sectional viewthrough a storage room, illustrating the floor and the lower portion ofthe side walls as being of absorbent material. Fig. 3 is a like view inwhich the ceiling and the upper portion of the side walls are ofmoisture absorbent or porous material.

Referring to the drawing the numeral (5) designates a storage room, inthis instance shown as of a portable nature and in a form of a car. Theouter walls (6) are closed or are otherwise rendered non-porous orimpermeable to moisture. The inner walls or linings (7 are of porous andmoisture absorbent material.

In Fig. 2 only the lower portions of the side walls are shown, the innerface (8) being recessed near the lower portions thereof, and a portionof this recess extending through the outer face (6 as shown at (12).This recess is filled with a lining of absorbent or porous material (7The outer face (6") is impervious or glazed. The bottom portion of thereceptacle is also covered with absorbent material (7 The outer wall (6in Fig. 3 corres oonds to the outer wall (6a) in Fig. 2 and and (7corresponds to the parts (7 and (7 of Fig. 2. This is merely amodification showing the absorbent filled recessed portion at the top ofthe receptacle instead of at the bottom.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that simple and efficientmeans are herein provided for accomplishing the objects of theinvention, but while the elements shown and described are well adaptedto serve the purposes for which they are intended, it is to beunderstood that the invention is not limited to the precise constructionset forth, but includes within its purview such changes as may be madewithin the scope of the appended claim.

Having described my invention, what I claim is:

A humidor comprising a side wall impervious to moisture a portion of itsinner face recessed adjacent to the bottom, portions of said recessextending through said side wall to the outer face thereof and a fillingof absorbent material seated in and completely filling said recess andthe por tion thereof extending from the interior to the exterior face ofthe wall.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MATTHEW M. LOORAM.
